Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Valentine and Jonathan are wearing boxing gloves and sparring around, it's obvious that Jonathan is not Herbert Marshall but instead is his stand-in. Marshall lost a leg in World War I and had an artificial leg for the rest of his life. The artificial leg caused him great pain and severely restricted his movements. Careful observation of his performances shows that he rarely stands for long periods of time and spends considerable time sitting or leaning against objects.
- GoofsAlthough Barbara Stanwyck's character is supposed to be a life-long Texan, she makes no attempt to mask her Brooklyn accent.
- Quotes
Valentine Ransome: Four score and twenty years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Carol Wallace: She knows the Constitution!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are shown on a China serving platter, to go along with the movie's title, Breakfast for Two.
- ConnectionsReferences The Virginian (1929)
Featured review
great fun
This movie was my first Barbara Stanwyck experience, so I perhaps enjoy it for more sentimental reasons than most. However, it is a terrific screwball comedy. Where else do you get Eric Blore (being his wonderful self), a talking dog, and Barbara Stanwyck wearing a boxing glove? I strongly recommend it to any Stanwyck fan. It is quite humorous and enjoyable. It's a cute little film and one of my all-time favorite comedies.
